WOMAN'S KINGDOM [IhtoU the ladlescomer. They ore Invited to i thel; ..-Jhoot, Itu fMtloni with pleasure.I herein—to me Itu theft The poem below «u lent os by a contribu tor who rays: "They were written on the deeth of my haby girl, my only child. I claim for them no merit, but am rare they will touch a sympathetic chord in the heart of every mother who haAeen bereft of her only child.” MY FLOWER. In my (arden bloomed one Sower, Lovely, frigrant, purely white, But It withered in an boar, Blighted by the chill of night. My iwect Soweret did not perlih, 'Twee (athered by Onr Father 1 ! hand Alllta fragrance Mill It cherished, I Tho’It blooms In that tatr land. Oh,my baby, my little wee one, Sheltered now bom every cam. Safe In the arms of Jesus, dear one; Mo tears are shed up there. Father, mother, oh 1 look upward Reoofnlze the chastening rod And behold again your Soweret Intheboeomofyour God. May yon too, by him transplanted Blown eternal in tbit liM And the chain that now U severed Be re-united by hU hand. Mother. There are so many subjects of interest to ho discussed among housekeepers at this particu lar time of year that it is hard to make a selec tion; but pre-eminent is house cleaning and spring elother. A great many housekeepers make themselves and family very uncomfort able by beginning spring cleaning too early. If it is true that “one swallow does not make summer," it is equally true that one warm spell does not make spring. Too many are seised with a perfect frensy for cleaning house as soon as the first few balmy days, which we usually have in March appear. This is a great mistake; only one thing should be attetyled to in March, that is the beds. It was my mother's rule (and we all think ourmothers know best) that March must not be allowed to pass with out all the beds in the house being overhauled and by experleno I know it is beat; so about the middle of the month have the beds put out where both sun and air can get to them, and have the beadsteads washed well with very Warm water and soap, then have the white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth in which mix nearly half ounce of quicksilver, and with feather put this on every portion of the bed stead and the comers of the mattresses and it is well; o pnt it in the closets where there are any shelves, just with the feathor touch In cnicksor corners. I have tried many things, but nothing is so effectual as this preparation for preventing any trouble from bugs. Then let house-cleaning rest for a month. I think we learn wisdom on these subjects as we grow older. I used to be one of the crazy kind about cleaning early in the spring and look back now and shiver over the many mornings that I would roam around miserably cold and uncomfortable because the stoves were token down and dro places all cleaned and fixed for summer, for I would have nearly frozen before I would again have smoked up the fire place. City people have the advantage, with their grates and dark papered walls, smoke, if they have any, don't show, but thoro are many who live in small towns and the country who still have whitewashed walls and large open fire places and who go through regular whitewash ing and scouring and scrubbing and ooms out fresh, sweet and clean every spring with as newadresson as the trees, and it is to this dais who may not have the “ways of quality folks,” that I advise not to begin your house cleaning too soon. It is an awfbl busy time and one fraught with much discomfort, but when we come out of it victorious, the thought of tile rest and quiet for the next six months is very delightful and we sit with folded hands and enjoy our triumph more for the misery and btigue through? which we have gone, shall have to discuss spring clothes another time. ______ The last number of Good Housekeeping, (April<3d,) is if possible, more charming than any preceding number. It Is full of interest ing reading. Bints invaluable to housekeepers, economical suggestions, and indeed entertain ing matter of all sorts. We take great pleasure in indoiaing it and it only becomes a wondor to us with each number how any housekeeper having once seen It could ever be without it, and the wish arises that every lady in the land could be the fortunate possessor of so valuable a magazine. _____ Atlanta has been one of the favomd dtlee in having the prtvelege of entertaining this week the great evangelists, Moody and Sankey. Cer tainly all who have had the pleasure of hearing them have esteemed it a privilege. Mr. Moody is an earnest, ftithAil worker, and never fails to impress one with their osra “nothingness,” and Incites the desire to do more effectual work in the vinyerd of the Master. Mr. Sankey’s aweet singing is a great addition to the services lib has a very sympqthetio voioe, his high notes are particularly sweet; Us selections very beautiful, and he never fail to ask God's blessing on thesong about to be snng. There are many hearts that are reached by a song that would not be by words, so that these good men are equally dependent on each other, and both do great good in their own way. They are sowing seed in this city. True, somo may fall by the wayside, and some in stony ground, but many are falling in hearts willing and reedy to receive them, and which will in time bring forth good fruit. That their efforts may bo. blessed wherever they go should be the prayer of every earnest Christian heart. For the benefit of the readers of Tax Daily ConsTlTTTlnx I wish to say that “Woman's Kingdom" Is intended for the weekly, but a portion of it appears in tbe daily. Sometimes, however, it la crowded out of the dally, but al ways appears in the weekly. I make this ex planation, as often wo have contributions from ladies who Uve in Atlanta, (wUch was tbe case last week.) and when they donot see their communications they imagine they have been left out, which is not so. I mnst also ask our rmpondents to bo patient as to the appeamnoe of their letters; “first come, first served," and our columns aro very full. Inst week several letters were left over and of conns they will take preeeoenco this week. We have asked the editors for more mom for our department, but fear it will bo Impossible for them to grant the request Would also say to oor corresp in dents that all letters or common lotions must bo written only on one side of tbe paper, or they may foil to nppenrjdon’t forget this In the ftature.

A Fheggy Newsboy# The railroad ran along ooe side of a besotl ful valley In the central part of tbe great stata of New York. I stood at tbe rear end of the train, looking out of the door, when the engineer gave two short, sharp bluta of the steam whistle. The conductor, who had been rending a newspaper in a seat near me, arose, and touohlng my shoulder, asked if I wanted to see a "teal country newsboy." I of course answered, “Yes." 80 we stepped out on the platform of the car. The conductor had folded up his paper In a Ugh troll, which he held In his right hand, while he stood on the lower step of the car, holding on by his left. 1 saw him begin to wave tbe peper Just as we swung around a curve in the track, and an eat farm house oame Into view away off across some open fields Suddenly the conductor flung the paper off toward the fence by the side oftb railroad: and I saw a black shaggy form leap quite over the fence fhnn the meadow be yond it, and alight Just where the newspaper, after bouncing along ui tbe grass, had folleu beside a tail mullein stale In an angle of the fence. It was a big black dog. He stood beside the p«per, wagging his tall, and watching us as tbe train moved swiftly away from him. Then he snatched tbe paper from the ground in bis teeth, and leap ing over tbe fence again, away he went aeross the fields toward tbe farm-house. When we last saw him he was a mere Mark speck moving over the meadows,and them tbe train rushed through a deep cleft in the hlU-slde, and the whole soene passed from our view. "What will he do with the paper?" I asked of the tall young conductor at my side. ‘ Carry it to the folks at the house," bean*w<ed. "la that your homer I inquired. "Yes," be responded; "my rather lives there, and 1 tend him an afternoon (taper by Carly every day, i the way you have seen_ "Then they always send the dog when It Is time for your train to paasr ^„ .
